if the wheels are on the car, dont worry about going thru all that trouble. i was just wondering if you remembered. i am looking at a 15x6 with a +4 offset which is about a 3.66" backspacing for the ghia.

So the backspacing on my SA Sprint Stars is 3 3/8". the lip on the front is about 3 3/4". As far as I can tell as long as you're backspacing is just a little more than that you should be OK. I'm a ball hair from the fender with that setup. Here's how I measured them in the picture below..

I think the new set are bigger. They won't fit any of your cars but they will fit on mine so bring them to me next time you come to Houston. I've read it's a 61 one year only thing thats why they will fit my car.
